All US Grand Tournaments for 2009 cancelled

Games Workshop has cancelled all US Grand Tournaments for 2009:

Due to some restructuring within the business it has been decided that we will not be hosting or running any Games Workshop Grand Tournaments in the US this year.

We know this will come as a disappointment to many who have enjoyed the resurgence in the GWGTs over the past two years, and as such this isn’t a decision we have entered into lightly.

This will give us the opportunity to step back and develop an even better experience and overall tournament circuit that will be able to apply to all of North America for 2010.

In the meantime, we heartily encourage anyone looking to get their tournament fix in to participate in the remaining shows on the GW Tournament circuit as well as the other great independent tournament and events that will take place throughout the rest of 2009.

Editor’s note: While I realize and accept that many fans are devastated by this, it has been no secret that the US Grand Tourneys have suffered from a myriad of serious flaws that did not exist in the Euro-based GTs. If GW is correct in saying that they plan to re-structure and return in 2010, this would be a welcome move and is probably for the best.
